Why is airport security so stressful? Why do the nearly two million travelers who fly every day in the United States put up with long lines, arbitrary rules and invasive screenings in order to fly? How do Transportation Security Administration officers (TSOs) deal with the disrespect and anger directed at them? Where do airport security policies come from?

Award-winning organizational researcher and communication expert Shawna Malvini Redden asked these questions for years—interviewing more than 200 passengers, flight crew members, and security officers to find out answers. Spending a decade as an undercover observer during her travels, she took note of everything from TSOs cracking jokes to passengers fuming over carry-on confiscations to the occasional security shut-down, and everything in between.
